Well clearly you have all the answers lol. Again your logic is faulty. There is no world government compelling action thus by your own logic any government can simply fail to take action until the duration you have mentioned has passed and then they are absolved of responsibility.

Irrelevant. The question isn’t about legality. It’s morality and one of ethics. Even if it were legal it’s the government itself that would need to be compelled. There’s no higher force. There’s the citizenry which takes us to the current discussion and thread.

It’s not about being “absolved”, it’s about literally different sets of people on both sides.

If you can find the individuals and draw a straight line, then you have a case. If not, well, not fair, but welcome to reality.
